February is upon us, and we have yet to see snow! We hardly have time to look out the window, since we are working so hard on our academic skills. Of course, at recess, we breathe the fresh air as we work on our social skills!
All About Mrs. Brockington
Hi! My name is Nancy Brockington. I have been teaching in Fulton County since 1993. Before that, I taught in Florida, Pennsylvania and New York. I was born in New Jersey, where I lived with my parents and my six sisters until I was 11. I then moved to the northeast corner of New York, on the Vermont/Canadian border, where I lived until 1986. I still enjoy visiting the “North Country”, since my mom and several of my sisters still live there. I have been married for 33 years, and my wonderful husband, Sam, and I have three children. They have grown up and moved on to their own careers and households, so my current “baby” is my golden retriever, Cooper. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Speech/Language Pathology in 1978 from Nazareth College of Rochester, and received a Master’s Degree in Speech/Language Pathology from Plattsburgh State University College in 1985. I received a Master’s Degree in Special Education from Grand Canyon University in 2007. I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, sewing, cooking, doing crossword puzzles, and teaching. As a special educator, I find great satisfaction in helping my students learn to use language as a tool to help them make sense of the world around them!
My favorite quote, which sums up my approach to education and the challenges faced by our students:
"Promise me you'll always remember: You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." (A.A. Milne)
